• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

Possible Ovulation?

This is our first time breeding snakes and we've seen pictures of snakes that have ovulated, and our female spider may be showing signs. We paired her with a male pastel on Dec. 19th. We stopped putting them together once he lost interest in her, plus she had started to push when he was in her tote. She still eats once a week and hasn't turned down food yet. She is in shed at the moment and she is very thick.

This is her a couple of days before putting her with Gamera.

That is her as of tonight. She's been soaking all day since she's hazy so we took pictures while she was out of her bowl.
 
It's possible we missed it. I am fairly confident she had a glow about her.

As you can see in the pics, she is significantly thicker than in December. I am thinking/hoping this may be her pre-lay shed.

I palpitated her about a month ago and felt what I believe were 4-5 follicles(first time palpitating).

I guess we will see. We have the incubator prepped and ready to go if she drops for us in a month or so.

I don't think she was glowing, that was her 1st time with Gamera. It's possible my husband and I missed her ovulation. We check on her everyday but there are days where we're not home until around 7pm (and we both leave between 6 and 8 am) We'll mark the calendar once she sheds just in case its her pre-lay shed.
 
Honestly, that looks like a pre-lay shed to me. It may be just the angle of the first photograph, but it almost looks like she had a weak ovulation there unless she was fed a particularly large meal prior to the picture. Has she been laying inverted at all?

The first photograph is how she looked before we put her with Gamera. The second picture is of their first lock. The third is the most recent one. My husband did catch her showing her belly.
